[00:02.98]N-Dubz - strong again
[00:13.42]Na, na, nai
[00:14.55]
[00:18.24]One day I had to punch up this one youth for trying to make a fool of me
[00:20.99]In my hood there's only so many opportunities
[00:22.55]Look I carry a tool for my pride and my jewelry
[00:25.55]Now I find myself stuck serving the community
[00:27.17]See me I made a change, I didn't expect no fame
[00:30.36]We came from practically nothing to thousands screaming our name
[00:32.49]A-list, play list, even my mum's famous
[00:34.61]I would do anything for some source of stadium status
[00:36.42]
[00:37.11]See the thing about life is that it's, it's just too short
[00:40.61]
[00:41.24]Leave the past behind, and only then you'll find
[00:43.80]There's more to life than you first thought
[00:45.61]
[00:46.17]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[00:48.55]Thought that it would ever get better
[00:49.92]
[00:50.48]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[00:52.29]Thought that it would ever get better
[00:54.17]
[00:54.79]See I, I never ever, ever, ever
[00:57.11]Thought that I could face this weather
[00:59.05]
[00:59.74]But life, it will only get better
[01:02.11]Trust me, it will only get better
[01:03.79]
[01:08.36]Na, na, nai
[01:09.04]
[01:13.92]Going back to when I was young
[01:15.48]And I, treated life like it would never end
[01:17.92]But then I grew up, got a little clued up
[01:19.92]Then N-Dubz blew up finally on my way
[01:23.04]'Cause if you knew where I come from
[01:24.61]You would understand why I sing this song
[01:26.55]It's all changa, yeah, I put my hand up
[01:29.30]In fact it made me man up and finally make a change
[01:32.17]See the thing about life is that it's, it's just too short
[01:36.42]Leave the past behind, and only then you'll find
[01:38.60]There's more to life than you first thought
[01:40.92]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[01:43.11]Thought that it would ever get better
[01:44.67]
[01:45.29]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[01:47.48]Thought that it would ever get better
[01:49.05]
[01:49.61]See I, I never ever, ever, ever
[01:51.98]Thought that I could face this weather
[01:53.73]
[01:54.29]But life, it will only get better
[01:56.92]Trust me, it will only get better
[01:58.61]
[01:59.17]'Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
[02:01.73]
[02:02.36]Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
[02:04.42]Didn't ever wanna sing this
[02:06.04]Ever wanna sing this song again
[02:07.67]
[02:08.61]And I, and I don't wanna walk this road again
[02:11.73]And I don't have to be alone again
[02:13.42]
[02:13.98]I can hold my head high, I'm strong again
[02:15.61]
[02:16.32]I'm strong again
[02:16.82]
[02:17.82]Money made no change, in fact it was more pain
[02:20.01]B's gone, who's to blame?
[02:20.95]Look at all these youths today, rollin' round with 38s
[02:23.57]Stickin brothas for the white gold chains like
[02:25.20]Look I didn't mean to hurt you mate
[02:27.26]Back in the day I used to roll with like thirty mates
[02:29.04]Never had clean money, always had dirty plates
[02:31.10]Be it now, we're grindin an' washin for like 30 days
[02:33.54]Now we make these animal wage in like 30 days
[02:35.48]
[02:36.04]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[02:38.29]Thought that it would ever get better
[02:39.54]
[02:40.16]'Cause I, I never ever, ever, ever
[02:42.79]Thought that it would ever get better
[02:44.10]
[02:44.66]See I, I never ever, ever, ever
[02:47.23]Thought that I could face this weather
[02:48.66]
[02:49.23]But life, it will only get better
[02:51.73]Trust me, it will only get better
[02:53.35]
[02:53.91]'Cause I, I didn't ever wanna sing this song again
[02:57.16]Didn't ever wanna sing this song again
[02:59.35]Didn't ever wanna sing this
[03:00.97]Ever wanna sing this song again
[03:02.62]And I, and I don't wanna walk this road again
[03:06.05]
[03:06.62]And I don't have to be alone again
[03:08.74]I can hold my head high, I'm strong again
[03:11.12]I'm strong again
